This is a helpful overview, especially the comparison between injection molding, 3D printing, and thermoforming. I agree that the production volume and material requirements should be considered before choosing a manufacturing method. For custom motorcycle parts, proper fitment and durability are also really important since components may be exposed to vibration, heat, and weather. The point about using CAD models and planning for tooling costs is particularly useful for anyone considering a custom project.
